Why in the HELL is the RNC not all over this demographic with commercials like this. Hispanics/Mexicans, whomever are ardent conservatives and the RNC has not reached them. These ads run during Friday Night Fights on ESPN.
Large waves of southern immigration are changing our politics, and most Republicans believe the most effective way to reach them- which we know doesn't work- is to reward lawbreakers with citizenship and hope for the best. And please don't call us racists or we're gonna cry and roll over.
Look at these ads. Have you ever seen a Conservative tv message so well crafted; "with character"...honesty, hard work, be man enough to be respectful and polite, pro family and community.
Come on, these are the messages used to sell beer to this group.
You know who they want to vote for.
Because, sadly, in this day & age appeals to racial solidarity will trump those to common sense every day of the week.
I liked it.
By the way, can someone tell me why he is shaving his toungue?!
The commercials are too manly for the Republican Party .. sigh ...
OK. That’s it. I’m pickin’ up a six-pack!
Salud!!
Dunno. Maybe he was hung over and it felt like his tongue was growing fur?
It’s time for a new party. The Conservative party with people like Sarah Palin.
That’s a big statement, and you’re completely wrong.
Then we wouldn't have to worry about bowing to La Raza and make sure every campaign rally has at least 2 speakers in Espanol.
The remaining Hispanics, who are actually citizens, would probably assimilate. Or at least I would hope so.
Don’t you get the feeling that the current RNC would be embarrassed to run commercials that actually show men (primarily) who have character? (Sarah would be great, too.)
I’d be embarrassed to show them in a situation that requires character. It would be such a lie. (Boehner excepted after Friday’s reading of the bill.)
Mexicans are certainly not homogenous in politics, but I would not in any way categorize them as Republican conservatives.
MOST are poor and view capitalism as exploitative. That is what they have been taught.
Mexicans tend to be socially conservative on many issues, such as abortion, but like many other Catholics they would have voted for Obama if they were in the US.
Watching Mexican news in Mexico (not just a beer commercial) I can tell you that Obama is seen as the leader of “mirgratorio reforma.” You and I would call it “amnesty.”
Mexico is hobbled by the corruption of its government officials and the fact that the honest police chiefs, reformers, etc., get killed, examples being Luis Donaldo Collosio, presidential candidate; Cardinal Ocampo, Catholic clergyman about to expose government/drug lord links; and an assassinated police chief of Tijuana who actually wanted to make the police force a real one, not a laughing stock of bribes and “mordidas.”
I wish things were more like the beer commercials.
Post Script: The ladies are dang cute and affectionate. But you already knew that.
Eliminates one common source of bad breath. No blade required (just a scraper).
“...most Republicans believe the most effective way to reach them- which we know doesn’t work- is to reward lawbreakers with citizenship and hope for the best. “
1986 Reagan signed the immigration reform act, including sweeping amnesty provisions. And we all know Saint Ronnie could do no wrong
The Democrats created the artificial category of “Hispanics” in the 1970s as a way to create another class of victims, which they could imbue with special rights and privileges, including affirmative action and minority business set asides. The result is another minority group that votes Democrat. It doesn’t matter that, according to the Census Bureau, 51 percent of Hispanics self-identify themselves as white. The Census Bureau has even created the phony category of “non-Hispanic whites,” which are now 66 percent of the population and will be 50 percent in 2042. The reality is that “whites” will still be more than 70 percent of the population in 2042.
In 2008, if John McCain had received 60 percent [vice 55 percent] of the “white vote,” he would have won even if Barack Obama had received the entire Hispanic vote. Credible surveys indicate that the major policy concerns of Hispanics/Latinos were no different than the concerns of non-Hispanics/Latinos. The economy and jobs topped the list. There is little evidence that immigration policy was an influential factor in Hispanics’/Latinos’ choice between the two candidates once basic party predispositions are taken into account. The size of the Latino voting population should be kept in perspective alongside other subsets of the electorate. An estimated 11.8 million voters were of Latino ancestry, compared with 17 million African Americans, 19.7 million veterans, 23.6 million young people, 45 million conservatives, and 34 million born-again white Christians.
Republicans are deluded if they believe that altering their views on immigration and amnesty will win them more Hispanic votes. Ronald Reagan signed a “one-time” amnesty in 1986, but that did not change the fact that the majority of Hispanics still vote Democrat. The reality is that historically the majority of immigrants, not only Hispanics, vote Democrat. Unless the Republican Party can slow down the immigration numbers, it will be the permanent minority party or become just another wing of the Democrat Party.
Get rid of the metrosexuals and get back to basics.
Something else we need to do is ignore all the defeatists.
The lines in two of the commercials about “not all of us are here”...is that suggesting that the remainder of the Mexican population is on its way?
They were actually pretty funny. Though the tongue shaving thing was weird.
Viva La Raza e tambien Che!
That was sarcasm. Something that many people at FreeRepublic miss lately.
There are many many Hispanics in this country who are citizens who assimilated long ago. To group all Hispanics with the ones who are illegally here and who have no interest in assimilating is a slap in their faces. They are, in most cases, equally irritated with the laxity of our government to follow existing laws. Politicians drooling for votes value illegal aliens and activist organizations for their voter support and continued employment. They sympathize with us, but know what side of the law upon which their bread is buttered.
Count me in.
FR has grown too big and transient for inside humor imo. Might help to use /s.
You sarcastic bastard!
The Mexicans are coming! The Mexicans are coming! /s
Post on
“Tongue shaving”
Like Steve Martin in “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid”?
;^)
You are correct. Sometimes with topics like this it's very hard not to use a broad brush. The 'persons of Hispanic decent (non white)' who are here legally and contribute to society will never have a legitimate voice until the mass of illegals are gone.
If conservative means that Mexicans can take over America.
Actually, the Black and Hispanic vote really helped pass Prop 8, the Marriage Amendment, here in California.
That is traditional, conservative.
I can not believe that Tecate beer would have spent all that money without doing some research to see what would appeal....
that myth was sold hard here during the immigration battles here a few years ago and a lot of good freepers were shown the door for disagreeing with said myth
some of us were invited back after the Rudy debacle to be fair
How does the marriage amendment vote translate into electing Republicans into office? Most people are not single issue voters. Blacks voted 95% for Obama and Hispanics close to 70%.
Interesting article on “diversity.” Unfortunately written by Harvard man intent on divising a statist cure for bringing in foreign workers to work for below-scale wages while native populations are without work in order to show how important “globalization” is — or maybe to make the global elite rich no matter their origins.
“When the data were adjusted for class, income and other factors, they showed that the more people of different races lived in the same community, the greater the loss of trust. “They don’t trust the local mayor, they don’t trust the local paper, they don’t trust other people and they don’t trust institutions,” said Prof Putnam. “The only thing there’s more of is protest marches and TV-watching.”

I stopped using the /s long ago. If people cannot recognize the sarcasm, why tell them?
The RNC has been focusing on more important things.
For example, at the GOP.com store, (https://secure.gop.com//store/Default.aspx) the RNC is now busy raising money that is so essential for advancing John McCain and what's-her-name to victory in November. Victor the Plush RNC Victory '08 Elephant can be yours for only $35!
Here's the blurb:
Show your support for John McCain and all our GOP candidates by proudly displaying the Republican National Committee’s newest member, Victor the Victory Elephant.
Victor is ready to hit the Convention floor to place his nomination vote for John McCain and rally Republicans to victory with his Convention Pennant. This wonderful plush toy is available for a limited-time only. Actual size 5" x 4
Victor should have been removed fom inventory on November 5, 2008, but he is still for sale almost eight months later.
THE RNC MOTTO: HUNH?
In order to see the videos at the linked site, you first have to enter a birth date that precedes June 1, 1991. The videos are in Spanish, with English subtitles.
I think I’ll make my third Pina Colada of the afternoon/evening. Watching the video made me thirsty.
If you want to royally tick off a Hispanic person who came here legally and is a citizen, tell them you support “amnesty”.
Surprising numbers, aren’t they?
Problem with your idea: John McCain and Michael Steele are not people “con character.”
